Create a Feed from a File

Prev Next

Create a feed from a file to manage your threat intelligence data. Use a file if you have simple analysis requirements or quick reference needs, or if you need to integrate with tools that support direct file imports.

You can create a feed from the following file types:

  • CSV: File for sharing data and storing data.
  • JSON: Text-based file format that stores and exchanges data.
  • TXT: Plain text file that stores unformatted text.
  • STIX: File that uses Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) language to share cyber threat intelligence (CTI).

Important!: You must ensure that the columns in your file correspond to the data that is represented.

The benefits of using a file to create a feed are:

  • Historical analysis: Convenient method to store historical threat data that allows users to investigate trends, attack behaviors, and evolving threats.
  • Predefined datasets: Pre-defined datasets like malware samples or lists of IP addresses that can be used to analyze industry regulations.
  • Offline data: Offline data that users can use in scenarios where internet access is limited or unavailable.
